I know this is old hat nowadays but there is something fascinating about being 7 miles above the Atlantic Ocean following my own flight and posting this to the forum

British Airways BA 273 Airbus A350 from Heathrow to San Diego.

VPN into my personal home VPN and can access my LAN too.

Do we take too much for granted?

Have a good flight. Weather in SD right now is overcast (typical “May gray”). Might burn off by noon. I see from the FlightAware track that it is an estimated track right now. No satellite data?

No terrestrial feeders. Could be satellite feeder though.

Thanks Jim, oddly once I reached Newfoundland the internet became erratic for the rest of the journey. Wifi seemed solid on the aircraft but showing no internet.

Staying with a friend North of SD in Oceanside. You mention May Gray so guess you are a Californian resident, I’ve heard also of June Gloom 🕶
